In 1997, General Motors Corporation and Safe Kids Worldwide created Safe Kids Buckle Up, one of the largest, most comprehensive private sector child passenger safety programs in the country. GM and more recently the GM Foundation have served as Safe Kids Buckle Up's exclusive funding source and helped build the program into a multifaceted national initiative, bringing motor vehicle safety messages to children and families through community and dealer partnerships.
The program offers parents and caregivers hands-on instruction about safety inside the car (including information on car seats, booster seats and safety belts) as well as around the car (featuring the Spot the Tot program). The program also presents interactive educational programs for children ages 14 and under.
Safe Kids Buckle Up provides educational materials, grants and support to Safe Kids coalitions to conduct safety programs at the local level. These networks of grassroots volunteers include nationally certified child passenger safety technicians, transportation safety experts, public officials, police officers, nurses, public health experts and General Motors dealerships.
Since the program's inception, more than 22 million people have been exposed to Safe Kids Buckle Up events and community outreach efforts. Certified child passenger safety technicians working through Safe Kids coalitions have examined more than 1.4 million child safety seats at nearly 80,000 events and the program has donated more than 520,000 seats to families in need.With support from the GM Foundation, Safe Kids Buckle Up programs are conducted by Safe Kids Worldwide's 600 local coalitions and chapters.
Safe Kids Buckle Up encompasses the "Never Leave Your Child Alone in a Car" program that strives to combat hyperthermia-related deaths. It also includes the "Countdown2Drive" pre-teen safe driving initiative designed to equip teens ages 13 and 14, and their parents, with safe passenger and driving knowledge well before they are ready to legally drive. The program's goal is to help teens learn how to protect themselves in vehicles as they become more independent.
For more information on these programs and more, visit Safe Kids Worldwide at www.safekids.org.

Short range grouping evaluation of 4 premium ammunitions in 9.3x62 mm caliber in a Blaser R8
I have recently fired for the first time my Blaser R8 in caliber 9.3x62 mm with a semi-weight fluted barrel that I intend to use as an all-around rifle, including for my first safari to Africa.
The first 3 shots were made at 50 m (55 yards), on a bench rest, with the Aimpoint Hunter 34S that I use on my Blaser Express 97 in caliber 9.3x74R mm for driven hunt.
I used an inexpensive European ammunition, the SPARTAN SP in 285 gr (18.5 g), to check that the Aimpoint setting on the R8 was OK for the test. It was the case.
Then I fired the premium ammunitions that I have selected from this forum and other sources:
SAKO POWERHEAD BARNES 250 gr (16.2 g)
BARNES VOR-TX TSX 286 gr (18.5 g)
NORMA SWIFT A-FRAME 250 gr (16.2 g)
BLASER CDP 285 gr (18.5 g)
See the cartidges below, from biggest to smallest:
The regimen was identical than from the SPARTAN bullets:
50 m distance (55 yards), on a bench rest
3 rounds per ammunition, 5 minutes of cooling between each round, with the bolt opened.
The results are below:
5 cartouches + objective + SAKO + SPARTAN + BARNES + NORMA + BLASER + bullets.jpg
My first evaluation is the following:
- For driven hunt at range below 50 m, I can use ANY of the 5 ammunitions providing that the AIMPOINT is set for the R8
- I can use my Aimpoint on the R8 without changes in the setting, only with the BLASER and the BARNES ammunitions
- The BLASER ammunition provides the best grouping at this short range (this is what I had expected before the test from BLASER ammunition in BLASER rifle)
- The 2 lighest bullets (NORMA and SAKO) are above the heaviest ones by 1 to 2 inches
I will keep you posted for the next long range evaluation (100 m -110 yards- and 200 m -220 yards-) with a scope (I am waiting the January sales
to buy a SWAROVSKI 2nd gen 1,7-10x42 BT SR), and on my selection for the years to come !

My R8 tends to shoot the heavy bullet weights of the caliber better, except for the 6.5x284 barrel I have.
You will really enjoy your R8 and the only thing I do not like about it is the increased cost of barrels, a semi wight fluted over here is close to $2,800 now.
I have hunted all over with the R93 and R8 system--and been using Blaser products since 1999--they are excellent!
Here is a blue wildebeest I took with my R8 semi-weight in 2010

5 Questions from the Community
Any chance of getting lighter color blades with brushed nickel finish?
A. Alternative fan blades can be purchased for the Casablanca Whitman however it would require a sepaerate purchase as the units are already packaged together and they do not offer substitutions. To see offering search for casa blanca standard blades on our site.
Can the Casablanca Whitman be mounted on a slanted (cathedral) ceiling? How do we determine the best length for the downrod?
can this fan be controlled by wall mount control like Intelli-touch so you don't have a bulky remote sticking out from wall? Also, can the uplights and downlights be controlled separately?
Are there down rods shorter than 6 inches that will work for this fan? Also, what are the overall dimensions for this fan?
Is it possible to get down rods close to 6 feet long and if so will it still be under warranty mounted with rods that long?

Search for native plants by scientific name, common name or family. If you are not sure what you are looking for, try the Combination Search or our Recommended Species lists.
Ranging from Arkansas and Oklahoma south through Texas and eastern Mexico to Guatemala, Cedar Sedge is named for the plants it most frequently grows among and under: cedars, a.k.a. junipers (Juniperus species). It is one of many plants evolved to grow in the rich, loose, fast-draining soil created by juniper leaf fall. It is also found in deciduous woodland where leaves decompose rapidly and as understory to taller grasses in prairies and meadows. Though lawn-grass short, it is a clumping sedge, not forming a proper sod, so it doesnt really make a solid turf, but it can be combined with other low-growing plants to create a natural-looking herb layer. For central Texas, herb-layer companion plants for the shade would be Cedar Sage (Salvia roemeriana), Missouri Violet (Viola missouriensis), Violet Ruellia (Ruellia nudiflora), Drummonds Ruellia (Ruellia drummondiana), Baby Blue Eyes (Nemophila phacelioides), and Straggler Daisy (Calyptocarpus vialis). It can take occasional mowing and light foot traffic.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Every so often, this place lives up to its name.
Sean Manaea's return to mound gives Royals a welcome October surprise
October 8
By BOB DUTTON
The Kansas City Star
Left-hander Sean Manaea, the Royals' much-prized second pick in the June draft, capped a rehab workout Tuesday afternoon by stepping on a mound for the first time since undergoing hip surgery in June.
"That wasn't the plan when we brought him (to the Instructional League) for his rehab work," assistant general manager J.J. Picollo said. "But our (training staff) thought it might be the best thing for him."
It wasn't much. Roughly 20 pitches, all fastballs, from a practice mound adjacent to the Frank White Field on the Royals' side of the Surprise Recreation Campus. And yet …
"We think it's a big step," Picollo said. "He'll probably get back on the mound again Friday, and that will be it. His rehab will be over."
Manaea, 21, will then head home for an offseason of normal preparation for spring training. He should have no restrictions when the club's minor-leaguers gather next spring here in the desert.
Tentative plans call for Manaea to open next season with a full-season club, which means probably Lo-A Lexington or Hi-A Wilmington.
"As long as everything is (healthy)," general manager Dayton Moore confirmed. "We may keep him here until May or even June. I don't know. We've just got to wait and see as we get closer.
"We'll go slow with him. We'll be real conservative. We've got to be 100 percent sure he's ready to go out."
The Royals' caution follows a major draft gamble that netted Manaea.
Analysts viewed Manaea, 6 feet 5 and 215 pounds, as a possible No. 1 overall pick before his hip injury raised concerns. His problem surfaced in March after he adjusted his delivery to compensate for a minor ankle injury.
Manaea still compiled a 1.47 ERA in 13 starts as a junior at Indiana State while striking out 93 in 73 1/3 innings, but he remained available when the Royals made their second pick — No. 34 overall.
That's the scenario the club officials envisioned when they selected Stephen F. Austin shortstop Hunter Dozier with the No. 8 overall pick. Most analysts viewed Dozier, at best, as a late first-round pick.
The Royals reached a below-slot deal with Dozier and several other picks, which provided them with sufficient money in their draft pool to offer a $3.55 million bonus that persuaded Manaea to forego his senior season.
Manaea's bonus was slightly more than the slotted amount for the No. 6 overall pick and is the second-highest amount ever given to a player not chosen in the first round.

"The selection this year wasn't stellar but I sill managed to find a few to choose from. The card quality is thick and the printing is perfect. I have yet to have any imperfections. Thank you Tiny Prints. Ill see you next time!!"
"This is the second year I've used TinyPrints for my Christmas cards. Once again, they are absolutely gorgeous! I will continue to use TinyPrints. Their designs are sophisticated and on trend, plus the choices and variations for each card design are sure to fit anyone's taste. The cards came quickly and didn't disappoint!"
"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"Really impressed with the thickness/paper quality. Card turned out great. Excellent color quality. Received on time even over holiday. A few envelopes were dirty on arrival from packaging process. Recommend modified envelopes for square card-- these worked great. Put photo on back-- wish there was an additional text box here."
"The card was very nice but the back of the card I chose green and it was hard to write a message on the card. But the customer service was amazing. FEDX delivered to a neighbor but I did not know for a few days...but the company overnighted another order free of charge and saved the day. Everything got sent out by christmas!"

Nice quality
By M
from Nepean
I ordered the emerald colour in large. I could have sized down to a medium. It is very comfortable and warm. Every time I wear it I receive complements about the colour! Very nice quality garment. Will buy again from this line.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I bought my regular size (small) and do find it roomy. The material is not as soft as I expected, however, it seems to be well made and I am keeping it for throwing over sweats. My only suggestion would be to make it a bit longer.

RS Holdings (1991-present)
Ruby-Spears Productions (also known as Ruby-Spears Enterprises) is a Burbank, California-based entertainment production company that specializes in animation. The firm was founded in 1977 by veteran writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears.
Both Ruby and Spears started out as sound editors at Hanna-Barbera, and later branched out into writing stories for such programs as Space Ghost and The Herculoids. In 1968, they were assigned the task of developing a mystery-based cartoon series for Saturday morning, the end result of which was Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!. They were also writers and producers for DePatie-Freleng Enterprises.
The firm's credits include the animated series Fangface, Fangface and Fangpuss, The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show, Thundarr the Barbarian, Rubik the Amazing Cube, the 1983 version of Alvin and the Chipmunks series, the 1988 Superman series, and the American Mega Man cartoon series.
One series, Piggsburg Pigs!, used Canadian voice talent rather than American voice talent like most of their shows. Ruby-Spears was also responsible for the animated sequence in the 1988 film Child's Play.
The Ruby-Spears studio was purchased in 1978 by Filmways Television and was sold in late 1981 to Taft Broadcasting, becoming a sister company to Hanna-Barbera Productions. In 1991, Ruby-Spears was spun off into RS Holdings while most of the original Ruby-Spears library (its pre-1991 library) was sold along with Hanna-Barbera to Turner Broadcasting System, which in turn merged with Time Warner in 1996. The Ruby-Spears studio continued with other projects such as Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa and Mega Man.[1]
Ownership of properties[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (May 2010)
- The animated version of Police Academy and the 1988 Superman series were always owned by Time Warner due to them being based on Warner Bros. properties.
- Shows based on Happy Days and its spin-offs, which were co-produced with Paramount Network Television, are now owned by CBS Corporation;
- Rambo and the Forces of Freedom is owned by StudioCanal (who owns the Rambo film series) as they are the successors to co-producers Carolco Pictures, with Lions Gate Entertainment handling DVD distribution and CBS Television Distribution handling TV distribution;
- After its original airing on NBC, Alvin and the Chipmunks was initially syndicated by Lorimar-Telepictures, then passed on to Warner Bros. Television following their acquisition of Lorimar-Telepictures. However, the rights to the series itself are owned by Bagdasarian Productions, who have licensed DVD distribution to Paramount Pictures.
- Lazer Tag Academy is owned by Disney (under the title Laser Patrol) due to its ownership of co-producer Saban Entertainment (now BVS Entertainment)
- Along these same lines, Piggsburg Pigs! was co-produced by Fox Children's Productions, and when Fox sold Fox Kids and its library to Disney, Piggsburg Pigs! was included.
- It's Punky Brewster is owned by NBCUniversal Television, producers of the live action sitcom Punky Brewster.
- Wild West C.O.W.-Boys of Moo Mesa, which was animated at Ruby-Spears for its second season (1993–94), was co-produced by King World and Greengrass Productions, a unit of Capital Cities/ABC. The series was subsequently owned by The Walt Disney Company until the company spun-off DIC Entertainment in 2000. In 2008, DiC became a part of Cookie Jar Entertainment, which was purchased in 2012 by DHX Media, who is now the co-owner of the series[2] with Disney-ABC Domestic Television.

As grain markets have soared to more profitable levels over the last few years, I have seen and heard of countless hay and pasture fields that will be planted with corn or soybeans this spring.
In spite of record high cattle prices, the balance sheet simply continues to favor grain crops over cattle, assuming cattle are being pastured on land suitable for row cropping.
If you plan to be one of these modern day "sodbusters," here are a few things to consider as you drop the planter into that long established hay field or pasture this spring

Understand the Circumstances – To Doug Wilner. I'm not sure if your uneducated or have just never eaten out beofre. Everyone in the World understands how important Mother's Day is, but with that said they also understand that it is questionbly the bussiest day of the year for most resturants. This can cause for your time spent with your server to be cut a bit short, this may also cause, and i know this may seem shocking, for other individuals to come by your table to deliver drinks. Most importantly, when you set reservations at 5:00 p.m. in the evening, understand that a restaurant that had been open since 10:00 that morning may have ran out of an item that had been on the menue all day, a popular item at that. I would say that you should maybe take this all into consideration when evaluating someone's performance and to call the server out by name is just distasteful. You lack the true character that any establishment would want from their patron. Take this all into consideration before stepping out of the house next year. I mean no disrespect to your mother, she deserves her perfect day, and she may have recieved it on that particular day but you were the one who was unhappy. You were the one who didn't recieve their entree and this is your way of telling the world and in the end you were probally the one who ruined her Mothers Day, not the Rusty Duck! They have a great staff who takes care of me regularly. I have been visiting the Duck for over two years and people have started to address me by the first name and the food never ceases to impress me. I never thought i would ever become a "regular" at a resturant but at the Rusty Duck, that can happen alot easier then you think.
Beautiful Building on River is only Acceptable part of Experience – I have visited this restaurant on two seperate occasions both in the evening on weeknights. Both visits were more than mildly dissapointing. Both times had appetizers that were unflavorful and run of the mill, before dinner salads seem to be pre-bagged salad mix unwashed on a plate with cheap bottled dressing, entrees were nothing special nor memorable though they were cooked appropriately both times and desserts were standard and left me wanting... more. As did both experiences in whole. If menu prices were 5-8 less per plate the food would be more acceptable, but in Sacramento where there are literally a hundred interesting establishments to frequent $25-$40/person for mediocre food and service seems silly if not stupid. My mistake for trying it twice. My reccomendation is to skip the Rusty Duck and travel to the mid-town/downtown pleathera of wonderful eats.
Avoid on Mother's Day – I researched the restaurant and set up reservations for 5:00pm on Mothers Day 5/11/2008. Our service was pretty awful from Sean - he visited our table very infrequently and had other helpers serve the drinks for us (did not even serve all of our party initially). After ordering the appetizers and the main courses for my party of 3 we again waited for a fair amount of time. The appetizers finally came and then I was notified that they were out of the course I ordered off their special menu for Mothers Day. Realize that this is 5:00PM not 8:00PM - why would they be out of anything that quickly? So I asked just to have an appetizer for my main course since nothing else on the menu seemed appetizing at that point. About 10 - 15 minutes later a different person arrives and sets the appetizer down for me - the rest of party still doesn't have their entries yet. Their entries came about 14 minutes after mine arrived. To his credit Sean came around later and claimed he was afraid that they might bring the appetizer before the main entries thinking it was just another appetizer. My question is - why didn't he take charge and make sure the food and drinks were arriving as planned and not have others deliver the food and drinks? He seemed to have more time to spend at another table that had 9 or 10 persons at it. My table and one other table that had Sean as our server were very upset and very dissapointed. What was supposed to be a nice evening turned into a rather dissapointing one. This is not the Rusty Duck I remember from the past.
Nice – My boyfriend treated me to a romantic dinner. I live really close to this place and every time we go over the bridge on the way home I mention it looks cool, so we went here. It is pretty expensive. Drinks and food = $100. Normal...But I see all these reviews about the manager coming over and the wait-staff being so good. I think it is a bunch of hoopla! Our waiter sucked! He paid attention only to families and the customers that the manager was visiting. Which one old couple got a visit from the manager, and he sat and talked, but we went entirely unnoticed by both the management and the waiter. (I had to drink my boyfriend's water because the waiter was not attentive enough to bring me any). The bar was the best part, it's upstairs. The bartender was nice and personable. If I would have known that the service would be so crappy downstairs, I would have requested to dine in the bar area. It's a nice place, but it's a bit overrated and all of the people saying they get special visits from the management are either lying, or friends of the management. Maybe it is just the simple fact that my boyfriend and I don't have kids, which, HELLO!!!!! If we are paying over $20 a plate for food LEAVE YOUR KIDS AT HOME!!!!!! NO one wants to deal with the annoyance of children when they are attempting to have a nice, expensive dinner. Also, drink up! The food takes FOREVER TO REACH YOU! AND MY DUCK WASN'T COOKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH! It wasn't even busy! So come'on folks, what's the deal? Kids? Slow and bad service? Maybe if the duck was over cooked it would be ok to make me wait forever for it! For the price, children should be like smoking, BANNED!
This was an awesome dinner. – I went to the Rusty Duck a few nights ago and the food was awesome. The server was very attentive and made our evening special. We had the crispy duck which was awesome with the grand marnier demi glaze. yummmmm. The chef Steve and the Manager Joe both came to the table to check on our dining experience, which I have never experienced at any other restaurant. We made reservations and our names were printed on the menu. WWWWWOOOOOOOWWWWWWW. I will absolutly be going back very very soon. We loved it. Thank you Rusty Duck Staff.
A nice place but I would not try the seafood again – I brought my Mother to the Rusty Duck for her 89 Birthday dinner in the hope of getting some good seafood. This was a 40 mile drive for us and we were very disappointed in the meal. I liked the restaurant decor and view of the river. The service was pretty good and the food was reasonably priced. However my plate was half full of overcooked broccoli with a very small piece of overcooked and not so fresh Sea Bass. The rice was good but I got a real bad case of you know what from the oysters on half shell. Thank god my Mom didn?t try the oysters. This may have been a good experience if we stayed away from the seafood and had a stake instead.
Dinner at the Rusty Duck – We went to eat there, we did not know what to expect, I had the Duck App. platter, my wife had the crab stuffed mushrooms, They were both excellent, I love the tempura calamari that is on the platter, For dinner my wife had the crab stuffed tilapia and I had the chef's daily special, it was a kobe steak plate, they were excellent, We cleaned our plates spotless. We shared a lava cake for dessert.
Our server was great, she came to the table as soon as we were seated. I loved the decore of the place it reminded me of a old hunting lodge / mill. I mean the fire place's, and the whole thing, I could have not asked for a more romantic place to take my wife for dinner. The chef came to the table, he interduced him self and was very nice, It was my wifes birthday when I called a head to make the resovations they had asked me if there was some kind of special event. This was the part that really blew us away, they but happy birthday and my wifes name on the menu.
I would go back, The food was excellent, the service was great, the whole experience was one of the best we have had in a long time, we eat out about 4 times a month. One of the things that stick out is that we over heard some of the server's talking about how they loved the new chef, that he has been really changing alot of things and making some great specials, I believe the special part as mine was fantastic.
I would tell anyone to go and check it out.
Just not good! – The atmosphere was nice but the food was not tasty. Our food was cold and was put on our plates in a sloppy manner. I was expecting better quality and was disappointed. I guess the reason I gave it two stars was because on the weekends when you purchase two dinners you get half off the wine selection.
Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Seafood is the specialty at the restaurant that serves fresh fish, salads poultry, ribs and beef and offers group dining.
Tacky Decor, Bad Food – This place was pretty awful and horribly overpriced. I ordered the filet mignon and I am pretty sure it was not filet mignon. It was dry, over-cooked, and flavorless. Probably not even the right cut. My wife ordered a seafood medley platter, the salmon and crabcakes tasted about 3 weeks old, over-poweringly fishy tasting. The shrimp was decent at best. The food was on-par with Denny's, no better. The only bright spot was the service which was average.

Its U.S introduction has been delayed by Japan's earthquake, but the hedgehog-shaped iQ will create a sensation once it arrives. Toyota calls it the smallest four-seat vehicle in the world, so tiny and adorable that owners may want to tuck it in at night. But the iQ is much more versatile than the typical minicar. It is equipped with 10 airbags, including a unique rear-window air curtain, and it is so nimble that Aston Martin is adopting a version that it is calling the Cygnet to add to its line of $200,000 sports cars. Hybrid and battery-powered models may make the iQ indispensable in big cities.

William asks…
Why PM went for Nuclear liability Bill that would clip wings of India's nuclear technology?
Former chairman of the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, A. Gopalakrishnan, has said the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill will lead to clipping the wings of India's indigenous nuclear technology capabilities.
Mr. Gopalakrishnan, a stringent critic of the India-U.S. nuclear deal, told The Hindu that the new law would open the doors for the U.S. and French nuclear industry to "extensively sell their very costly and unproven light-water reactors (LWR) to India."
He said that back in 2008, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had, without consulting the Indian Parliament or the public, promised the U.S. administration to purchase 10,000 MWe worth of LWRs from that country. This, Mr. Gopalakrishnan claimed, was under pressure from the U.S. administration for getting the `123' agreement passed by the U.S. Congress.
Mr. Singh had also promised French President Nicholas Sarkozy to purchase French reactors, in return for his help to circumvent the Nuclear Suppliers Group's conditions. Without a liability law that lets the reactor manufacturers off the hook in case of a nuclear accident, these companies would not dare to do business with India, he said.
Mr. Gopalakrishnan pointed out that India is a leading country in thorium breeder reactor technology and is poised to build thorium-based reactors routinely by 2040. The country had abundant resources of thorium raw material in the sands of Kerala's shores.
He contended that the plan to import 40,000 MWe worth reactors during 2015-35 would shelve the thorium-based breeder reactor technology currently under development. "We have two generations of top-class nuclear scientists and engineers who have been painstakingly trained; we have the technological and industrial capability; and we have abundant raw materials," he said. "All these will go to waste if we predominantly start relying on the import of the highly expensive U.S. and French reactors."
Mr. Gopalakrishnan thinks that had Prime Minister Singh's secret promise (in the form of a letter by India's Foreign Secretary to the U.S. Under-Secretary of State) on September 10, 2008 been made public at the time, the Opposition parties and the public would not have perhaps let the India-U.S. nuclear deal through.
The PM and his govt had repeatedly proved that national interests are of least concern to them. The low compensation agreed against the Bhopal tragedy with US based Union Carbide by Rajiv in the past, is typical of the present sell out of our interests "to adhere to the Convention on Supplementary Compensation (CSC) for Nuclear Damage…" whereby the national law should legally channel the liability for all nuclear accidents in India absolutely to the `operator' of the nuclear facility!!!
What are your views on this suicidal deals of the UPA govt?
Dear Pquaint, I wish to answer your points:
You say: 1. Before attempting to answer this question, I'd like to read the views of Dr. Anil Kakodkar, Dr. Srikumar Banerjee and Dr. R. K. Sinha also. Like "one swallow doesn't make a summer"…this person's views need to be validated by other nuclear scientists too.
We know that it requires lot of grit to speak hard truths against a serious wrong of a powerful Govt like UPA's about whose chairperson, even Media thinks several times before a comment! If as much exposures as about Sonia family's alleged deposits abroad had been made against any other leader in the country, the media would have made tons of comments by now!
But they keep studied silence when the Task Force under Gurumoorthy publishes details before the Press Reporters daring Govt to take action if they were proved wrong! So I would least expect most elite critics and bureaucrats or scientists to speak out against Govt in the sensitive issue!
2. PM being In charge of DAE
2. PM being In charge of DAE wouldn't make any deal without consulting eminent scientists…and weighing all pros and cons!!!
In that case let him give his rejoinder to the elite scientist who spoke to the media. A person of Dr G's stature would not talk serious things without solid facts, like politicians do. And we had seen how the MM govt had acted in the various issues! He would not hesitate to call even the infamous Spectrum deals as akin to "food subsidy"!
3. By now I have pretty good idea of political leanings of members like yourself and a few other answerers who suspect EVERY move Congress leaders make…totally ignoring and/or overlooking the fact that India has made great progress in science and technology under the able leadership and policies of Congress party.
Yes I do not make any secret of my serious doubts about the Congress leaders just as people of your group do about the major opposition groups! But people know, learned sister, that any progress in any field
any field in the country is happening in spite of the bunglings of this govt! The talk of Second Green Revolution etc are still pathetically sneering at us!
4. To say that "The PM and his govt had repeatedly proved that national interests are of least concern to them" is SLANDEROUS!!!
Please note that I had not blindly commented in the forum about any contentious issue without good reasons. Mr Gopalakrishnan had not given just his sweet opinions without facts, but given plausible reasons and facts which you cannot call ''slanderous''

Betty asks…
Can anyone put this into an outline for me?? 10 points!!?
Ida Tarbell helped transform journalism by introducing what is called today investigative journalism. Through her achievements she not only helped to expand the role of the newspaper in modern society and stimulate the Progressive reform movement, but she also became a role model for women wishing to become professional journalists.Born on the oil frontier of western Pennsylvania in 1857, Tarbell was among the first women to graduate from Allegheny College in 1880. After trying her hand at the more traditional women's job of teaching, Tarbell began writing and editing a magazine for the Methodist Church. Then, after studying in France for a few years, she joined S. S. McClure's new reform-minded magazine in 1894. Initially she wrote two popular biographical series–on Napoleon and Abraham Lincoln. In 1902, she embarked on her ground breaking study of John D. Rockefeller�s Standard Oil Company, or what was called the Standard Oil Trust. Her History of the Standard Oil Company, published in 1904, was a landmark work of expos� journalism that became known as "muckraking." Her exposure of Rockefeller's unfair business methods outraged the public and led the government to prosecute the company for violations of the Sherman Anti-Trust Act. As a result, after years of precedent-setting litigation, the Supreme Court upheld the break-up of Standard Oil.As the most famous woman journalist of her time, Tarbell founded the American Magazine in 1906. She authored biographies of several important businessmen and wrote a series of articles about an extremely controversial issue of her day, the tariff imposed on goods imported from foreign countries. Of this series President Woodrow Wilson commented, �She has written more good sense, good plain common sense, about the tariff than any man I know of.�During World War I she joined the efforts to improve the plight of working women. In 1922, The New York Times named her one of the "Twelve Greatest American Women." It was journalism like hers that inspired Americans of the early twentieth century to seek reform in our government, in our economic structures, and in our urban areas. Along with other muckrakers like Lincoln Steffens, Ray Stannard Baker, and Upton Sinclair, Tarbell ushered in reform journalism. Ever since, newspapers have played a leading role as the watchdogs and consciences of our political, economic, and social lives.Although Tarbell was not, herself an advocate of women�s issues or women�s rights, as the most prominent woman active in the muckraking movement and one of the most respected business historians of her generation, Tarbell succeeded in a "male" world � the world of journalism, business analysis, and world affairs, thus helping to open the door to other women seeking careers in journalism and, later, in broadcasting.By the early 1900s, John D. Rockefeller Sr. had finished building his oil empire. For over 30 years, he had applied his uncanny shrewdness, thorough intelligence, and patient vision to the creation of an industrial organization without parallel in the world. The new century found him facing his most formidable rival ever–not another businessman, but a 45-year-old woman determined to prove that Standard Oil had never played fair. The result, Ida Tarbell's magazine series "The History of the Standard Oil Company," would not only change the history of journalism, but also the fate of Rockefeller's empire, shaken by the powerful pen of its most implacable observer.Born in a log home in Hatch Hollow, northwestern Pennsylvania, on November 5, 1857, Ida Minerva Tarbell grew up amid the derricks of the Oil Region. Her father, Frank Tarbell, built wooden oil storage tanks and later became an oil producer and refiner. "Things were going well in father's business," she would write years later. "There was ease such as we had never known; luxuries we had never heard of… Then suddenly [our] gay, prosperous town received a blow between the eyes." The 1872 South Improvement scheme, a hidden agreement between the railroads and refiners led by John D. Rockefeller, hit the Pennsylvania Oil Region like a tidal wave. It hit the Tarbells too, leaving behind painful memories that would be rekindled thirty years later. "Out of the alarm and bitterness and confusion, I gathered from my father's talk a conviction to which I still hold — that what had been undertaken was wrong."After graduating from Allegheny College, the sole woman in the class of 1880, Tarbell moved to Ohio to teach science, but resigned after two years. She would find her true calling just months later back in Pennsylvania, when she met the editor of a small magazine, "The Chautauquan," published in Meadville, Pennsylvania. Tarbell's inquisitive mind and her determination to have a career pushed her to become intensely invested in her writing and research projects. At 34, fascinated by the story of Madame Roland, the leader of an influential salon during the French Revolution, she moved to Pari

Maria asks…
A question for the Cena haters: don't you see how vital he is to the future of the company (more inside +BQ)?
Everyone's entitled to their own opinions, but i wanted to make a case here on something. There are obviously a lot of folks out there who do not like Cena, but i wanted to point something out quickly that i hope Cena haters can take in mind, and that is the future of the WWE.
The whole PG era, Cena, it all is trying to focus on the younger generation, the "kids" and whatnot. A lot of people complain about this, but what i think these people are overlooking is the need to keep the WWE going. People my age, we're only here for so long. What happens when we're gone? The WWE could cease to exist. It's vital to continue to maintain an audience, so that the company can survive, and the best way of doing this is by focusing on the younger generation. We can't expect the WWE to tailor to our wants and needs, and i don't necessarily think it's tailoring to the kids' wants and needs either: it's a business decision that has nothing to do with making money, in my opinion at least, but more so so the WWE can continue to live on long after the older generation has passed.
related BQ: We could have the WWE go back to being TV-14, but don't you think parents would keep their kids from watching it? The Attitude era was great, memorable; those who witnessed it will never forget it. But i think people need to realize that the WWE will never go back to TV-14. It will lose viewership and will receive even more scrutiny than it already does. i think one of the largest reasons why the WWE went PG had nothing to do with "Mattel," but because if they didn't lighten things up, they may have been threatened to have been removed from television, as there were (and are) children watching the WWE. A parent doesn't want their 5 year old hearing curse words, seeing wrestlers bleeding profusely, seeing Divas in bra and panties matches; it has so much more to do with the future of the WWE.
i think that's why Cena is the way he is, why the WWE is PG. Forget about Cena's move set, his gimmick, whatever else people complain about, and forget about WWE being rated PG. If the WWE only concentrates on us, versus also the children, the WWE will come to an end. Keeping the younger kids into it will lead to even further, eventual viewers in their kids, and so on and so forth, therefore keeping the WWE alive.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Am i just talking nonsense here, or can Cena haters (and PG haters) see where i'm coming from?
admin answers:
That is a very good observation, and I agree. Despite people knowing that WWE is just a business and its like any other action TV shows, people still treat it like its real wrestling and if they are not given what they want they felt betrayed or disappointed. Especially when it comes to John Cena. John Cena is WWE biggest money drawer, 2nd is Randy Orton.
WWE is just business and they don't want to get a bad media attention for being violence, and they don't want to get blamed for children fighting, whether its the WWE's fault or not.
Plus This is a good strategy from Vince. In 5 years or so these kids (cena fans) will grow up and they will realize the kid-ish ness of the WWE and start to make biased comments like WWE was much better when Cena was around which we know isn't really. So WWE will have to revert back to the attitude era or something similar.
Anyways good observation. If people really wants good wrestling than there are many other promotions out there that delivers better wrestling matches and blood.
Chris asks…
How accurate is the answer pasted below regarding the government bail out?
I had asked a question about the government bail out and this guys response is how I feel but I'm not sure how accurate it is. Please over look his typos as we all make mistakes when we are typing and trying to answer in a hurry.
His response:
They need tobail out wallstreet because of the fiat money system. Our politicians hate having to raise taxes, it is very unpopular and leads to being tossed out of office. Instead the politicians love to spend borrowed money, and then pay it back with interest so it appears to the people as if taxes remain the same, and there is only the hidden tax of inflation. When governments get to the point where they have to pay back more in interest then they raise in revenue, then you get hyperinflationary depressions such as the one we are going through now. If we allow the big companies to fail, there will be about 12 months of hardship while smaller fiscal institutions step up to the plate and take over the business the failed banks left in their passing. Eventually things would be restored to normal, and life would go on with new names in the world of domestic banking.
The bailout will prolong our recession and eventually it will lead to an even bigger nastier crash, and the big banks will consolidate and form mega huge bank conglomerates and own and dominate the public until there is revolt and possible civil war.
The bail out benefits the average tax payer by making you take on the toxic wate derivatie garbae that the free market has finally priced to their actual value of zip. Once we the tax payer own these worthless assets we will also take on the debt that these worthless assets have incurred. We will then spend the rest of our lives, and the lives of our future generations paying off the unpayable debt, a debt that is greater then all the actual assets of the entire world.
End of his response.
I understand that the bail out is to try and save the economy but isn't it just a little bandaid on a huge gushing wound?
I would like to know your opinions on whats right and whats wrong with the statement above. Thanks
admin answers:
I sped read it
And the parts I caught as important are the ones of prolonging the recession and a really bad crash of the economy
The bail out is only a band aid not a fix the problem still exist
Short term Low interest home mortgages causing more lay offs
in industries that causes a domino effect
The recession has been in full force for the last 8 months
Why they don't admit it you got me
And the crash will and is going to happen
The instability of the United States is now being seen by the rest of the world when
The Government steps in to bail out failing companies I don't care what their category is they are going broke
And the only thing that the public has to worry about is what will happen when it does happen in full force
The meaning of the national debt will come to
Light what it really means and the effects that will follow it

Earlier this week, I found myself back in Tucson.
Ahh, wait. Before I go much further, I have to make a confession. I've been to Tucson six times now, all for work-related issues. Every time I go, the friendly folks who I visit ensure I am well fed, and take me out to restaurants of top notch quality (someday, I'll have to relate the tale of being at a place where they prepare bucket-size amounts of salsa at table side, whilst a mariachi band plays La Bamba five feet away).
What I haven't done when down there is search out places of my own, mostly because my hosts had taken it upon themselves to feed me. So imagine my surprise in finding out that Tucson has a dish/meal for which they are famous – The Sonoran Hot Dog! I felt I had let myself down, not knowing this fact. At that moment, I vowed the next I was in Tucson, I would have to see what the hubbub was about.
The next time I visited Tucson, I was pared with a vegetarian.
Okay, so the NEXT time I visited Tucson, I vowed to have me some hot dogs.
The result? Sonoran Hot Dogs are now my favorite type. Here's why – The Hot Dog is wrapped in smoked- bacon, and then cooked on a large grill right in front of you (at least it was at the two places I visited). The dog is then put on a bun, where spicy pinto beans are added, as well as cooked onions, fresh onions, and diced tomatoes. It is then topped with a "healthy" amount of mayonnaise. And as an accoutrement/garnish? A freshly charred chili pepper whose aroma permeates the air full of carbon and capsaicin. Enjoying these dogs with a glass of horchata was a must, as the rice milk tempered the spice of the beans and pepper perfectly.
I could come up with flowery prose going into detail on what the experience entails, and how the various flavors intermingled upon my tongue as I consumed this lovely beast. But such an approach in describing these dogs seems a bit…a bit overdone. So let me get directly to the point.
Sonoran Hot Dogs are delicious. Full stop. Yes, it likely depends upon where you get them and who makes them, but the samples I've had made me want to have them again, almost immediately. Even now as I write this, I am trying to figure out how to make them at home with a partner who is currently avoiding meat.
Or to put it plainly, Sonoran Hot Dogs and I had a moment. Quite possibly that is the only thing you really need to know.

Not that one can choose such things, but The Economist has published a ranking of the best and worst countries to be born in for 2013-and the US isn't number one.
The index averages rankings from 11 geographic, social and economic factors. Switzerland ranked first and Nigeria ranked last. And the US? America came in at 16th place. When The World created a Where to be Born index way back in 1988, the US ranked first. Also ranked in the top were Nordic countries, Australia and Singapore; nations in Africa and eastern Europe came in last.

The Wichita School District wanted to know what the public thought about proposed boundary changes and people weren't shy. On Thursday, the district released a 149 page document compiling all of the comments and feedback about the proposals.

» The latest on traffic, delays and road construction delivered to your mobile phone. Click to sign up to receive text alerts!
During Thursday night's focus group meeting, the following plans were outlined by Superintendent John Allison. Again the proposals below (also called supposals) are not final.
High School
- All High School Facilities remain open
- New NE Secondary Facility opens as with NE Magnet relocated to this facility
- Attempts to disrupt as few facilities as possible
- Capacity availability is limited across the district
- Some facilities are near building capacity
- Potential student choice to attend a Pure Magnet
- Core inner areas in the "center" portion of the district are kept as they currently are assigned, by address
- Boundaries normalized (squared off by roads):
- Portion of East HS moved to South HS
- Portion of Heights HS moved to North HS
- Portion of Heights HS moved to SE HS
- Portion of North HS moved to West HS
- Portion of SE HS moved to East HS
- Portion of West HS moved to South HS
- Does not addresses socio-economics of the district as well as other supposals
Superintendent Allison said the Assigned Attendance Area or AAA would remain boundary free. This area is in northeast Wichita and is made of predominantly African-American students.
Student living in the area bounded by Kellogg, Washington, 29th Street North and Oliver would continue to be assigned to seven high shcools and several middle schools.
A previous proposal (or supposal as the district calls them) had students living in the AAA attending three high schools. Students would not be assigned to schools based on their address.
Middle School
- All Facilities remain open
- New NE facility opens as K-5 and either Mueller Magnet or Isley Magnet moved
- New SE facility opens as K-8 facility
- Attempts to disrupt as few facilities as possible
- Capacity is limited across the district
- Some facilities are close to building capacity
- Core inner areas in the "center" portion of the district are kept as they currently are assigned, by address
- Gordon Parks has a neighborhood attendance area created (added to its open magnet option)
- Boundaries normalized (squared off by roads) move toward similar current MS boundaries:
- Portion of Coleman MS to SE K-8 MS
- Portion of Robinson MS to Coleman MS
- Portion of Mead MS to Jardine MS
- Portion of Hamilton MS to Hadley MS
- Portion of Hamilton MS to Truesdale MS
- Portion of Colmeman MS to Robinson MS
- Does not addresses socio-economics of the district as well as other supposals
Elementary School
- SE facility is a K-8
- Facilities that open as K-5 include:
- Ortiz
- Lewis Open Magnet
- Close Four Facilities (Payne and Woodland are not closed)
- Bryant
- Emerson
- Lincoln
- Mueller
- Changed the following boundaries:
- Cessna
- Earhart
- Enterprise
- Irving
- L'ouverture
- Mclean
- Ortiz
- Woodland
- New NE K-5 (areas with no students aligned to existing boundaries
- Attempt to disrupt as few facilities as possible
- Does not addresses socio-economics of the district as well as other supposals
- Some facilities are less efficient
- Some facilities exceed building capacity
- Potential student choice to attend a Neighborhood Magnet
- Mueller Magnet or Isley Magnet could be located to NE K-5
- Isley ES is assigned a neighborhood attendance area in addition to the magnet programming at facility
- Create Neighborhood boundary for Gordon Parks
Superintendent Allison asked his focus group Thursday night if there's anything about the latest proposal they don't like. "I'll be blunt....is there anything on here you can't live with?" asked Allison.
He says the latest draft will be on the one he takes to the school board. It includes the closure of four Wichita elementary schools.
Parents from those schools have protested, voiced there opinions in public forums, and written letters. Despite some changes, four elemenary schools are still on a possible closure list.
"I'm disgusted. I feel like I was lied to by Allison, I feel like all of this focus group stuff was just blowing smoke. It was just smoke and mirrors and that's all it was," says Bryant parent Dolores Pruett.
Allison pointed out that just because the schools are still on a closure list, doesn't mean they're not being heard. "There voices have absolutely been heard as we move through this process. I think some of them assume if there isn't a change they weren't heard. That's just not the case at this point," says Allison.
A final proposal on school boundary changes will be given to the Wichita School Board February 6. A decision is expected February 27. Any changes would go into effect in the 2012-2013 school year.
